Is PATH set correctly that the up-to-date tools are found?

I am also kind of a newbie with these tools. OTOH, I am pretty sure =20 that one does not need to know how these tools work and how and why =20 they get invoked. Usually the configure script and make/Makefile know =20= exactly what they need to do. My assumption is that two things can be =20= wrong: your environment (PATH value, tools, their versions) or the =20 source. The latter gets healed automatically... Waiting one or two =20 (more) days should help. (Otherwise you could send an eMail to the =20 address given when you select 'Send Bug Report=85' from the Help menu.) -- Greetings Pete If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure. =96 George W.
